I sent it back. it was not the camera that I thought I had ordered. i wanted the SX201S. this was just a mistake. Nothing was wrong with the camera.

Despite the grainy photos and screen going blank after some shots, my wife likes the camera. I do not. “poster-size, photo-quality prints” is false advertising. Sure it looks good at x1080 resolution, however the pictures are grainy at full resolution.
There may be worse cameras to be had. I went with 10 Mega-Pixels, instead of 12 for this very reason. The pictures just aren’t as sharp as older point and shoot cameras at full resolution. This appears to be a common theme with all digital cameras. The auto-focus is sluggish and far from perfect, and we have to buy special batteries to fill up a memory card. All in all, Cannon is not the next brand of camera that I will own.

I was excited to have this camera, but took it back when the download feature was lifeless after two weeks. It was working fine at the beginning; I checked all the features when I first got it. Picture quality was pretty good, but if I can’t download them, what good is the camera?

IMO, look to purchase an alternative camera. I’m not a camera buff, just looked for a reliable and functional unit. Initially, I was well pleased with this P & S. Pictures were quite adequate and it was easy to use. Downloading images to my pc was a snap – used windows photo gallery. After three weeks of moderate use the auto-focusing mechanism began to grind. Finally, it got to a point where it would not focus at all on small objects – e.g. print. The macro function was useless. Focus capacity died. Returned it – searching anew.

I am a real estate appraiser and wanted a compact wide angle camera. This camera is not really that. Also, many times I must change flash from Auto to Forced on. This is almost impossible with this camera. I use the sports mode in my other Cannon, this camera does not have it. Camera does not come with an instruction manual which I read, you must download it. That is really tacky. All in all, I am very disappointed with this Cannon camera and I would not recommend it.
